De Young InterVtcWed

CHICAGO, Oct. 18Th. De Young,
proprietor OF the San Francisco Chron-
icle, in an interview with a Journal
reporter this evening in speaking of the
effects of the passage of the Inter
State Commerce Bill on the business
interests of the Pacific slope said: 1.-The
people were and are still
strongly in favor Of the Inter
State Bill. Because the rail-
roads attempted to make ii
as odiouS as possible by a heavy in
crease in freight and passenger charges,
but the laws Of trade soon regulated
that, for the prices they put upon the
products were simply prohibition, and
there was no shipping of any kind
until railroads came back to fair prices,
and, as q natural result of theiT
attempt to increase freights, we re-
ceiYed the benefits we expected to the
fostering of home manufactures. One
OF the results of the bill has been to
force our merchants into patroniZine
the manufactures and our nail works
type factories, paper mills, wool mills,
glass works, and other manufactures
have been running on full time with
large contracts ahead.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I4.-An the
telegraph wires leading into Charles
ton, s. c., were interrupted suddenly
at 1925 a. m, and have remained so
up to this hour, 100 a. m. No earth
quake symptoms have developed at
Augusta or Savannah. which are
the nearest points to Charles
ton, with which communication
is open. Trainmen who arrived at
Augusta from Charleston tonight re-
port high wind blowing at Charles
ton this afternoon with Indications of
a cyclone, but telegraph communica-
ton with Charleston was open for some
hours after these men must have left
that city. They also report large fire
raging at Magnolia, suburb of
Charleston.
2:15 A. M.-The telegraph operators
at Augusta, Ga, have been receiving
associated press dispatches from Wash
ington without interruption all night.
They cannot explain the Charleston in
terruption. No earthquake shocks
have been experienced at Augusta.
SHOCKS FELT.
NETWORK, Oct. H., 3 a. m.-The
operator at Florence, N. c., says he
had communication with the operator
at st. Stephens, s. c., forty miles from
Charleston, who told him he had felt a
slight earthquake shock. The st. Ste
phens operator was going to stop the
2:50 a. m. train from Charleston and
make inquiry. He said the train was
late.
ALL SERENE.
The following telegram has just been
received Florence, North Carolina:
"Our railroad force patched up one
wire and it has been learned that
the trouble is from a fire at Magnolia
Crossing, outside the Charleston limits.
where all wires going out of Charles
ton center, and leave in one direction,
all railroads from Charleston running
through that place. A grocery was
buried and every wire from Charleston
was destroyed.

ThssFIames Discovered in Tine TO

fore the Ceremonies are Over.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia News special
from Memphis, Tennessee, says: When
the pilot train preceding the presiden-
tial train arrived at the trestle between
Bonneville ard Jonesboro, Arkansas,
yesterday morning, the engineer dis
covered the trestle to be on fire. He
did not make the discovery until it was
too late to stop the train before the en-
CINE had passed over the burning Dor
ton. As soon as possible he backed of
the trestle and jumped down to exam
inc the fire. He found that
a section about ten feet square was in
flames and that the fire had been start
ed on the under side of the timbers.
The engineer and all the rest of the
train men, with the help of some of the
passengers, succeeded in putting cut
the fire, when it was discovered that
the flames had not eaten dangerously
far into the wood and the treStle was
still safe for the passage of trains. A
careful examination of the burned
timbers gave unmiStakable evidence OF
an attempt at train wrecking. The
fire was started on the under side
of the cross ties, in such manner that
there can be no possible belief that
sparks were the cause Of it. Then, too.
the fire was certainly set to more than
ore tie at time, for it could not have
jumped from one to another without
burning the sides of the timber more
than it did. The conclusion is almost
irresistible that somebody had applied
a torch to at least eight or nine of the
timbers.

criminal assault on one of the WomeI

tackled the i've women with a elul
nearly killing all of them. EverythinT

CURA SOAP
C2tSTTh to CONSUMPTION,

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.
II is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make it
the object of their lives to rid themselves Of
it. Deceptive remedies COnCOcted by ignorant
prCtenders to medical knowledge have weak
ened the confidence Of the great majority of
sufferers in all advertised remedies. They
become resigned TO life of misery rather
than torture themselves with doubtful palia-
tives.
But this will never do. CatarFh must be
met at every stage and COmbattcd with all our
might. In many cases the disease has as
sumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and
cartilage Of the nose tine organs Of hearing,
of seeing and OF tasting so affected as TO be
useless the uvula so elongated, the throat 50
infiamed and irTitated as to produce Il con-
slant and distressing cough
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of CataTTh from simple head cold to
the most lOathsOmc and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe. economical
and neveT-faling.
Each package contains one bottle of the
RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLv-
ENT, and an IMPROVED INHALER, with treatise.

FACTORY INSPECTION,
To Protect the TOilerS in Factories
 and Work shops.

last year bill was brought before the legislature to establish State inspection of factories, and was favorably reported on by the chair man of the Labor Committee on the part of the House, But it was de- feated. Now, again, this bill has been introduced by Representative King, of Naugatuck, and the temper of our legislators will once more be tried on the subject. The bill pro- vldes for the appointment of an in- spector of factories with power to appoint assistants, %hose duty it shall be to see that the owners of factories provide proper safeguards against accident, and have their shops properly ventilated, etc. There is but one reason why this bill will not pass, if defeat is again in store for 1t, and that Is that the employers don't want to go to the expense of complying with its pro- visions. They no doubt recognize the fact that wage-slaves are cheaper than appliances for their protection. It will be interesting to know just what legislators vote for and against this and similar bills.

9rice , Gents

are as low as they can be and really average an ordinary. laborer's wages; you know that our colleagues in the New England States are yet worse oil, because they suffer under the truck and house rent system intro duced and kept up by the mill-own- CTS. You should follow the exam pie of other well organized trades, who, by their firm and solidaric CO., working have raised thelr wages to higher standard, reducing at the same time the daily and weekly hours of labor.
 We call, in this respect, your atten- ton to the cigar makers, compost tors. furniture workers, carpenters, and many others.
 The Textile Workers are really behind time, but by the general movement of all organized working men, we are drawn into the struggle for bettering the general condition Of life. and it is our duty to use all our energy in order to prevent the further reduction of our wages.
 1t IS In our and our families in terest to put a stop to the robberies of the mill-owners and those factory lords who grow rich by not paying the full value of our work. First, we have to demand higher wages, and to be treated in decent way; and In the future we have to aim at the abolition of wage slavery by in troducing the universal cooperative system of production, which alone secures to the workingman the full amount of pay for his work and abolishes bossism.

''BOycott the 'Courier, '"

The venerable gentlemen forming the Supreme Court heard the argu- ments, and seemed specially inter- ested in the speeches of Prof. Platt and Mir. Russell; but there was u marked lack of interest in filings noisy harrangue, notwithstanding the ridiculous propositions in his argument" filling shouted at the five old gentlemen as if he imagined they were deaf. Notwithstanding the rawlings of the lawyer, which were perhaps reall y intended to sat isfy his employer more than to con- vince the judges, the majority of them apparently enjoyed quiet nap during his remarks. But when counsel for the defense made their arguments in quiet, dignifed manner, the Court was wide awake and much interested in the remarks of the learned gentlemen. As the Supreme Court is not noted for startling speed in arriving at decisions, it will be time enough to print the main argument of Prof. Platt, as embodied in "De- fendants' reply to the Brief for the State," in our next issue. It is most interesting and important arpu mpnt
